Bouncy, lighthearted, feisty, and openhearted.  I love Squirrel Girl so much, and this is only the beginning - she was one of the survivors of the Secret Wars mixup, so there's a second set of Squirrel Girl issues starting later in 2015.

This set of issues is a complete arc, and gives a great introduction to the character, who has shed the odd costume from the 90s, but has kept the indomitable spirit and spunky nature that made her such a niche favorite despite long absences from official line-ups.
